Networks build buzz for draft in Chicago Sports Media: Bratches was key Sports Media: LinkedIn and sports A look into DraftKings' MLB deal App combines college spirit, fitness Penguins on top despite ratings drop Networks lining up for EPL rights Not all journalists sold on Twitter NBC fine-tunes setup for NASCAR coverage NBC Sports marketing Cup early, often

SBJ/April 2-8, 2012/Media
MLB wild card TV rights up for grabs
Published April 2, 2012, Page 1
An exclusive negotiating window with Turner Sports was scheduled to end last Saturday without a deal, those sources said. That will enable the league to engage ESPN and Fox Sports in negotiations for the one-game wild card playoff in each league.
Sources also say that the league is seriously considering carrying the games on its own MLB Network.
At last month's World Congress of Sports, MLB's executive vice president of business, Tim Brosnan, spoke of the need to increase MLB Network's distribution to 90 million homes. It's now in 68 million homes, making it the most widely distributed league-owned cable channel.
On the event's opening panel, Brosnan said the league will be looking to place "important" games on the channel to persuade cable operators to give it better carriage. When asked whether he was referring to playoff games, Brosnan said, "I didn't say that." But the wild card games could be the types of "important" games to which Brosnan was referring.
Early last month, MLB announced a playoff expansion to include two wild card teams from each league. The teams will play a one-game elimination game to advance to the Division Series. The wild card games are scheduled for Oct. 5, two days after the conclusion of the regular season. One set of Division Series starts Oct. 6; the other will start the following day, Oct. 7.
It's not known what type of rights fee MLB can get from these added games. The league wants to see whether competition from the open market can push up the price for what should be an appealing and highly rated one-game playoff.
Originally, Turner believed it had the contractual right to carry the games. TBS has carried play-in games in the past and holds the rights to carry all of the divisional series.
But the two sides could not work out a deal for the new games during their exclusive negotiating window. Sources said the two sides could not agree on how much these games were worth.
This will allow MLB to test the open market. Neither ESPN nor Fox has had formal talks for the games, and it's difficult to gauge their interest. Conceivably, the package would be open to others, like NBC Sports Network. But sources said it was unlikely that a non-MLB TV partner would wind up with the games.
Several sources consider MLB Network or TBS the likely landing spot; there is a possibility that they could split the package and each carry a game.
The package of wild card games covers this season and next. MLB will start negotiation on its overall media rights package this season. Its deals with ESPN, Fox and Turner expire at the end of next season.

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
What: Shares of denim demigod True Religion (Nasdaq: TRLG ) were getting thrown in the dirty-clothes hamper by investors today, falling as much as 28% in intraday trading after the company reported fourth-quarter earnings.
So what: For the final quarter of the year, True Religion managed $0.62 in adjusted earnings per share on $119.4 million in revenue. That represented revenue growth of 7.7% and a slight drop in EPS, but that was well off from the $128 million in revenue and $0.71 in per-share profit that analysts were looking for.
The company's Consumer Direct segment, which includes True Religion's stores, performed well during the quarter, posting 24% total sales growth and 11% comparable-store sales growth. That segment now accounts for 65% of the company's total sales. However, looking at the company broadly, the lack of significant profit growth for 2011 is no doubt worrisome considering the hopeful valuation multiple that investors had been awarding True Religion's stock.
Now what: But wait, it gets worse. For 2012, the company said that it expects sales to be between $450 million and $460 million, while earnings per share is seen clocking in between $1.88 and $1.95. The average analyst estimates for the year had been for $2.37 in per-share profit on $494 million in sales.
At the midpoint of management's guidance, True Religion's earnings per share would grow roughly 2% in 2012. There's nothing impressive about that and it wouldn't surprise me if investors continued adjusting the stock's valuation downward even after today's big slide.

Released: Apr 08th, 2010
Running Time: 154 Min.
Director: Glenn King
Companies: Buttman Magazine Choice, MeanBitch Productions
Distribution Companies: Evil Angel
DVD Extras: Biography(ies), Bonus Scenes, Cumshot Recap, Still Gallery(ies), Trailer(s)
Kris Slater, Kyle Stone (I), Nyomi Banxxx, Billy DeWitt, Angela Aspen, Priya Anjali Rai, Ivy (III), Mistress Angelina Valentine
Genre: Specialty
Specialty Type: Fem-Dom, Smothering
MeanBitch Productions director Glenn King understands the psychology of submissive males, especially those who need to grovel beneath dominant goddesses in service of big, fragrant, deeply cleaved ass globes. FemDom Ass Worship 3 plunges headlong into the fetish with four harrowing scenarios of intimidating female superiority: A beautiful bitch blackmails her boss ... a pro domme teaches a submissive client respect ... a malevolent doctor hypnotizes a patient ... a dominant, physically superior porn slut facials her weak, cuckold husband. Each scene starts with a POV segment in which the audience is invited to submit to the woman's ass. The action is spiced with fetishy lingerie, sweaty foot worship and boot licking, whips and dildos, abusive verbal degradation, penis humiliation, smothering and breath control. It's reigning ass!

The discussion is to be moderated by Independent Women's Forum president and chief executive officer and MSNBC political analyst Michelle Bernard Sunday, the network said.

Don't you just hate transvestites! They're all a bunch of faggots, wearing
skimpy, outrageous costumes and cruising the bars looking for sex all the
time. Every one of them is a Godless abomination. They're just plain evil.
They're not only low class but mentally ill as well. They don't deserve any
rights. They should all be locked up to protect society, especially our
children, from this dangerous and depraved menace.
That is how many people see transvestites or cross-dressers. Such a
stereotypical view is an oversimplified belief that assumes every member of a
group conforms to an unvarying pattern and thereby lacks any individuality.
Without any connection to such a group, it is easy to hate them all. As James
Russell Lowell said, "Folks never understand the folks they hate."
You may think that you don't know anyone in the transgendered community but
you probably do. Unless you live alone in a cave, someone you know is likely
to be a transvestite who is afraid to tell you for fear of rejection. Society
says there is something wrong with us, so we hide the truth. You live right
along side us and never know our secret. I hid so well that of the 60 people
closest to me, including my wife, none of them had any idea that I was a
cross-dresser. They were all very surprised when I told them.
I don't fit very neatly into a box simply labeled, Cross-dresser! While
cross-dressing is a part of me, it is only a part of who I am. I wrote this
poem to explain that situation to my family and friends.
You know me as a person who has strong spiritual beliefs,
You know me as a person who loves children and childlike things,
You know me as a person who enjoys good food and fine wines
You know me as a person who is discovering a love for theater and the arts,
What if society does not accept part of me but I do;
What if I need to expose the truth about me to be at peace inside;
What if I take a chance and become vulnerable by disclosing my story;
What if I told you that I like to shave my legs and wear a skirt;
I know many cross-dressers and they are all unique individuals. They are good
and bad, nice and not so nice, just like any other group of people. Because
of the fear of losing everything they have become as good at hiding as I was.
Your husband, brother, best friend or coworker could be a cross-dresser and
you wouldn't know. Would it be safe for them to tell you? Would you treat
them as individuals or would you respond with the anger, fear and hatred
described earlier? Will you try to understand?

The World's Largest Nobu Restaurant to Open Soon at The Four Seasons Doha
UPDATE: The restaurant will now open on APRIL 17, 2015.
Chef Nobuyuki �Nobu� Matsuhisa, is a busy man these days. In addition to growing his Nobu Hotels collection (Miami, Chicago and London hotels are all coming soon), he's also celebrating the 20th anniversary of his eponymous restaurant empire.
And what better way to celebrate than by opening the largest Nobu in the world (and the second one for the Middle East) inside one of the most luxe properties in the world, The Four Seasons Doha? It's like the Nobu version of #treatyoself.
The opening date for the 26,000-sq.ft. Rockwell Group-designed Nobu at The Four Seasons Doha is still uncertain, but when it's finished it will be quite an affair. Which is par for the course for over the-top Doha.
The restaurant will feature an expansive 192-seat interior dining area, intimate 10-seat sushi counter, two exclusive private dining rooms, and a one-of-a-kind 82-seat rooftop lounge that encompasses both indoor and outdoor seating options.
Elliptical ribbons of river stone capped with bronze accents form the exterior of the structure � resembling a coiled shell � creating the three-tiered levels of the restaurant. While incorporating design elements made from natural, rich materials that reflect the cuisine and roots of Chef Nobu Matsuhisa, this location will reflect Doha�s specific history and culture. Since the city is known for pearl diving, Rockwell Group references this past in many layers of the design.

Why Is The Pool at Sharq Village Doha So Deserted?
Blue sky, palm trees, plenty a deck chair, and a beautiful resort pool. So where is everybody? At Sharq Village, a Ritz-Carlton hotel in Doha, the answer lies in what you can�t see: the temperature.
Taken early afternoon, it was pushing 113F (45C), which felt like having a hairdryer on max in your face at all times, and meant no guest was brave enough to lounge in the scorching sun. We certainly weren�t, and headed straight to the lovely Six Senses Spa to hide out until the evening cool set in.
�Cool� being a relative term, because even in the middle of the night it didn�t drop much below 90F (30C), but the darkness did show the pool in a different light, with the star-filled sky effect adding a nice touch.
A Bed and Breakfast package at Sharq Village starts at 1395QAR ($380) a night, with a number of other offers available.

Dutch Master Marcel Wanders to Design the Mondrian Doha, Opening in 2015 [UPDATED]
UPDATE 8.27.14: As of right now, the design and supervision of the Mondrian Doha is being done by SWA Qatar. Other partners in the project are listed on the signs outside the construction site:
Ray McShane, the general manager for the property also gave HotelChatter this update:
As we are still at construction stage, many of the elements of the design, F&B and services remain fluid and are not finalized, therefore we would like to provide updated information on design, interiors, services etc, only when those elements are 100% committed. The project information board at the site, plus our website, contains all currently available data on the hotel.
As with any new property, we are aware of the interest and hope to be able to share more detailed information on content as the project moves forward with industry sites such as yourselves and we look forward to your support!
So Wanders involvement may or may not be happening. Stay tuned!

Qatari Hospitality At Its Finest: Pick From 5 Boutiques At Souq Waqif
With the 2022 Fifa World Cup on the horizon, Doha has been a hive of hotel activity lately, and one company that seems to be really cashing in is a luxury mini-chain known as Souq Waqif Boutique Hotels. We say 'mini-chain,' but actually this is a small collection of five boutique hotels, all centered around the city's main attraction, Souq Waqif.
Like Dubai's gold and spice souks, Souq Waqif is where tourists (and, allegedly, locals) go to experience the traditional bazaars, shisha cafes and old-style buildings. To get to the hotels, you have to physically walk through the souq, so whether you're stopping to buy a silk scarf or gazing down on the action from your balcony (many of SWBH's rooms look directly onto the souq), the 100-year-old market is likely to play a big role in your experience of the hotel.
All six of the hotels heavily emphasize traditional Arabic decor, with hand-carved wooden furniture, embroidered pillows, Arabic tea sets, and plenty of rich turquoises, maroons, and indigos.
The tricky part, however, is figuring out which of the hotels to stay at. Each claims to be slightly different�Al Mirqab stands out from the pack with its state-of-the-art 980-seat indoor theater, while Al Najada (pictured) was created by joining three traditional Arabic homes.
TripAdvisor guests love the proximity to both the souq and the Museum of Islamic Art, as well as the large bathrooms, rooftop pool, and selection of high-end restaurants (Al Jasra's seafood restaurant seemed to get the best reviews!). Best of all, the hotels are only a 15 minute ride from the Doha Int'l Airport.
As Qatar continues to put itself on world travelers' radars over the next few years, we have a feeling we'll be hearing plenty more about these hotels�
Rates at Al Najada from $343/night.

Westin Runs For Sandy, Sandals Chases Grenada, And Other Hotel News
There's tons of hotel news flying around and we don't have time to give each and every story the love and attention it may deserve, so you will have to settle for some news briefs.
Tomorrow morning Westin Hotels is having a 5K run in New York to celebrate the launch of their exclusive New Balance gear lending program. Both Westin, New Balance associates (and now Top Chef-host, Padma Lakshmi) will run to benefit Soles4Souls, an organization that provides shoes to adults and children around the world. A majority of the donations will support Hurricane Sandy victims. The run starts and ends at the new Westin New York Grand Central where there will also be a Soles4Souls donation station the public can drop off gently used or new footwear throughout the day. After the run, Westin and New Balance will donate more than 15,000 pairs of shoes to Soles4Souls. For more info, visit westinnewbalance.com
Sandals Resorts International has purchased Grenada�s all-inclusive LaSource Resort for an undisclosed sum. This is the brand�s first property in the country. The hotel will be renamed Sandals LaSource Grenada Resort & Spa, and will add 100 more guest rooms to its current space for a total of 200 private cottages and bungalows. Many of these will be concierge- and butler-level suites, as is common in the Sandals brand, and also the famous octagonal-shaped Rondoval suites. We wonder if Sandals will keep LaSource�s former amenity of one free spa treatment a day. Sure it was only a 25-minute teaser, but it was something. A part of us believes they�ll be cut, but we�ve been pleasantly surprised before.

Video:Mirrors and Feng Shui
with Rodika Tchi, MScThat gorgeous new mirror may look nice behind your bed, but it can hurt your feng shui. Find out where to put your mirror to help improve the energy and flow in your home.See Transcript
Transcript:Mirrors and Feng Shui
Hi, I'm Rodika Tchi for About.com Home and Garden.The Role of Mirrors in Feng Shui
Mirrors have been fascinating humankind since ancient times. They come in all shapes, sizes, and framing materials, and can help you in improving the energy flow in your space.Mirrors are also called the aspiration of feng shui, because they can literally relieve your headache of having to deal with bad energy in your home.
How to Use Mirrors in the Home
Let's say this is your floor plan and this is your main door. The energy comes through the main door to nourish your home. However, if you place a mirror right in front of the main door, what is happening is you're pushing the energy right back.So what you need to do is remove the mirror and let the energy come into your home and circulate among all the areas of your home, in turn, nourishing your own energy.
Mirrors in the Bedroom
Do not have mirrors reflecting your bed or behind your bed. In feng shui, mirrors bring the energy of war into the bedroom, as well as discourse between partners. Mirrors also weaken the energy when you sleep, if they reflect in your bed.Cover or Remove the Mirror
There are many easy solutions, from removing the mirror to covering the mirror. In this specific case, we had a small mirrored closet in the back of the bed. And the way to deal with it is to cover it with nice fabric.Keep Mirrors Away From the South Area
Do not place mirrors in the south area of your space. Mirrors represent water, and the south area of your space needs fire. As water puts down fire, you should not have water in the south area of your space.The south of your space needs red, bright, fiery colors to support the light you bring into the world.
The Benefits of Mirrors in Feng Shui
In this case, the mirror serves a triple feng shui duty. Number one, it expands the narrow hallway by bringing more light in from the adjacent windows.Number two, it hides a closet, even though the closet is quite neat and tidy. Closets have a low and static energy, so it's nice to kind of make them disappear.
Number three, the mirror compensates for the slightly missing area in the bagwa of this specific floor plan.
Where to Place Mirrors in the Home
Mirrors bring the energy of water, so it's good to have mirrors in the areas of your space with wood or water elements in it. So do place a mirror -- or more mirrors, if your décor allows -- in the east, southeast, and north areas of your space.In this specific example, we have a beautiful gilded mirror in the southeast area of this space, which brings the energy of water. We also amplified the water energy with the light blue color.

World oil production may have already peaked at about 85 million barrels daily (mmbd) where it has been stuck for the past year (see chart Global Oil Production, below). With current demand near 86 mmbd, the difference has been made up by declining inventory.
Gasoline stored in the U.S. is especially low (see chart from the EIA, U.S. Gasoline Stocks, above). The apparent peak may be tested later this year as both the IEA and the EIA, the well-known consuming country government energy forecasters, expect oil production to break out to a new high of 87 mmbd. Regardless, maintaining current production is enough of a challenge, we think, to propel a continuation in the recently renewed uptrend in long-term oil price now quoted at $68 a barrel.

Creative ways to recycle your old clothes
UPDATED 1:28 PM PDT Oct 11, 2013KCRA 3's Deirdre Fitzpatrick chats with the managers of the Gaia Movement about their recycling clothes program.
Video TranscriptAS WE START MAKING ROOM FOR NEW FASHIONS IN OUR CLOSETS, MUCH GETS DISCARDED. WHAT YOU DO WITH IT? IT IS SAID THE AVERAGE PERSON IS SIMPLY THROWING AWAY A LOT OF STUFF. JOINING US THIS MORNING, WE HAVE TWO GUESTS. YOU HAVE PROBABLY SEEN THESE BOXES AROUND TOWN. I HAVE SEEN THESE BOXES AND I'VE WONDERED WHAT IT IS ALL ABOUT. THE IDEA IS TO TAKE STUFF AND USE IT FOR OTHER THINGS. PHYSICALLY, THERE ARE 9 BILLION TONS OF USED CLOTHING AND SHOES DISCARDED IN THE NATION EVERY YEAR. JUST THROWING IT OUT. OK. WE ARE TRYING TO RECYCLE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. WE BROUGHT THE EQUIVALENT TO 10 PEOPLE WHO DISCARD A YEAR. 70 POUNDS IS EQUIVALENT TO ONE PERSON. THE OBJECTIVE, WE CALL THIS THE DROP-OFF CENTER, AND BASICALLY, WE PLACE THEM WHEREVER POSSIBLE AND PEOPLE WITHIN FIVE MINUTES DISTANCE, THEY CAN DROP IT OFF. WHAT YOU DO WITH IT? NUMBER ONE, WE SELL IT TO DISTRIBUTORS IN THE U.S. AND THEY SELL IT TO THRIFT STORES AND THEY ALSO SELL IT OUTSIDE THE U.S. THEY TAKE THE GOOD STUFF THAT IS MAYBE WEARABLE AND GIVE IT TO OTHERS. FOR THE TEXTILES THAT ARE NOT WEARABLE ANYMORE, WHAT CAN YOU TURN IT INTO? THERE ARE PLANS IN THE STATES THAT PROCESS THIS AND CONVERT THEM INTO OUTDOOR/INDOOR CARPETING, FOR EXAMPLE. THERE IS ALSO -- ALWAYS A USE. OUR OBJECTIVE IS TO GET AWAY FROM JUST THROWING IT OUT IN A LANDFILL. WHAT IS GAYA? IT MEANS MOTHER EARTH. YOU'RE OUT FOR IMPROVING THE ENVIRONMENT. OUR VISION IS TO GET AS MUCH POSSIBLE FROM THE LANDFILL SO WE AVOID METHANE, WHICH IS A VERY POTENT GREENHOUSE GAS, AND ALSO CO2. IS A NONPROFIT? WE ARE NONPROFIT, DEFINITELY. WITH THE FUNDS WE GENERATE AS WE SELL THE GOODS, WE COVER OUR EXPENSES AND THEN, FOR EXAMPLE, WE HELP SACRAMENTO SCHOOLS. VERY GOOD. WE PROBABLY HAVE SEEN THE BINS AND NOW WE KNOW A LITTLE BIT

Gotta love this delightful little. Gotta love this delightful little creamery...and so does everyone else, the lines can be epic. But the cinnamon with snickerdoodle & roasted banana are worth it.
The best ice cream in the nation! Must visit when in SF!
If you go on the weekend, expect to. If you go on the weekend, expect to find long concert-like lines. Visit during off hours to experience what bon appétit magazine calls some of the best ice cream in the nation.
The salted caramel is the gold standard. The salted caramel is the gold standard for ice cream. Lines can be long, so if you want to lessen the wait, opt either for the soft-serve window, or pop in and buy a pint to take home; there's a separate checkout for that.
This place is pretty fantastic. I love that they have almost anything that I need for gifts and personal favorites. They also have cakes to spare at times.
This is a great place! I love the cupcakes that they have in here, they are perfect for a gift basket and they are very sweet, just there, ready to be desserts!
If I have a dog, I will name her Icecream... because I love ice-cream like crazy! If you're like me and you're in SF, you should try Bi-rite Icecream! My favorite is the Salted Caramel!!! You should try it...
Come early to avoid the line and try. Come early to avoid the line and try two flavors during your visit!
Totally worth going in the middle of the week, in cold weather to avoid the massive line.
Life doesn't get mush better than this.... Their ice cream is incredible and changes often enough to warrant going back often. On a nice day to skip the line- consider buying a pint to share with friends and asking for cones at the register!
Goodness!. This is a great spot when the items are fresh and just out the oven.. The staff is always friendly and accommodating and the pastries are to die for! I always bring my nephew here for cookies and cupcakes and he never wants to leave... Keep up the good work
Salted caramel and roasted banana. BiRite is one of the best ice creams I've ever tasted. Salted caramel and roasted banana might sound odd but it's a truly amazing combination.
Best Ice Cream in SF!. This place has some of the best ice cream in San Francisco. My favorite is the butter pecan. The sundaes are also great here. I did not like the lavender flavor ice cream personally; I thought it tasted like the lavender soap my girlfriend bought me. But I was pretty impressed they were able to get that flavor down. The only downside is the long lines.
Salted Caramel Ice Cream?. We'd seen this place on Food TV, and were eager to try the salted caramel ice cream. We'd had Trader Joe's seasonal dark chocolate sea salted caramels and loved them, and had made Ina Garten's fleur de sel caramels, loved them too. So when we got to bi-rite, because of the long line we figured just order a double of the salted caramel, how could it be anything but fantastic? Well.....it didn't taste anything like the salted caramel we'd come to know and love. It tasted like burnt sugar, or dark molasses. Kind of bitter, not salty, nothing like we expected. Cute place though, and great texture to the ice cream. Just be sure to get those free tastes, no matter how many people behind you are staring daggers at you. Or go to Humphrey Slocumbe for a slower pace and truly inventive flavors. We loved that place!
the best ice cream in the city. Bi-Rite is worth walking to the park (even on a cloudy day) and standing in line for a solid 30 minutes. Taste a few of their unusual, refeshing flavors before you commit to just a few, and then go hang out in the park. Bi-Rite + Tartine, just down the street, is a killer combo -- good for the soul.
Very good ice cream with good environmental practices. The ice cream here was very good, make no mistake, and if you are in favor of environmentally sound practices like sustainability and like the use of organic and locally sourced ingredients, you will like this place even more. My wife and I went out here on the recommendation of Citysearch and were not disappointed. It is a tiny little place where people were lined up out the door. There was an exotic selection of flavors, like Balsamic Strawberry and Cardamom Orange, which are all made in small batches using mostly organic ingredients. Their plates and spoons are recyclable and they use only real metal spoons for samples so as to not create waste. The ice cream was delicious. I myself enjoyed a sundae with homemade brownie chunks, FRESH whipped cream (it comes in a dollop, not from a can with compressed air), fresh berry compote and 2 scoops of ice cream. Very tasty. The location is a bit dicey, at least at night and getting there can be an issue if you are coming from Union Square, Nob Hill, or any of that area, as we had to take the BART to 16th street and walk a few blocks, but it is not impossible.
best ice cream ever. I lOVE their ICE CREAM. My all time favorite is the Smore's ice cream pie. I cannot get enough of this stuff. They use a graham cracker crust, chocolate ice cream, caramel and a marshmallow meringue toping. There ice cream is made with the purest ingredients. It is creamy and flavorful. The strawberry is unlike any other. Finally an ice cream that doesn't have that nasty artificial flavor. In addition to ice cream, they have freshly baked goods. YUM YUM! Cookies, pies, brownies etc. Who needs MAGNOLIA in New York. Great staff, service,prices and location.
Umm umm good!. Nice people, great taste, and exotic flavors. Try the homemade ice cream sandwiches! I would definitely recommend this place to any ice cream lover.
Gourmet Ice Cream. How is it that this place doesn't have more reviews? It's ice cream heaven. Seriously good ice cream. Forget the toppings, or the sauce, or even the cone. Just go for the ice cream straight out of the bowl. The flavors, like "salted caramel" and "honey lavendar" are utterly amazing. This is ice cream for grown ups!
Local, sustainable, organic and delicious ice cream products and baked goods on Dolores Park.. In ShortA wonderland of old-fashioned delights, this shop holds all good things dear--from artisanal confections to the health of the environment. Sampling--done with real, not disposable, spoons--of classic and unusual flavors such as ginger or salted caramel ice cream is encouraged. All are made with Straus Organic Dairy products, and seasonal fruit granitas and soy flavors give non-dairy lovers plenty of options. The bakery makes all the goods for Bi-Rite Market, across the street.
Rediculously Awesome. We were so excited for this place to finally open after peering in the windows for months! The icecream at this place is amazing and the icecream cakes are unbelievable! Highly recommend!

Real reviews, from customers like you.
Brilliant holiday would defo go again as my boys loved the football court and location is very picturess, walk to the beach and lovely towns and villages near by. The food was lovely at the Boat House and staff were very friendly! All in all a fab hols!!
Freezing cold apartments and have to pay a fortune to have heating on which our holiday was rubbish as we only Brough a little spending money and that went in electric and the entertainment on site was not enjoyable
Beautiful views across the river from the park. Alot of the approach road is single track which can be a bit hair raising!
Had a lovely weekend only used the restaurant once as we have family in the area but food was of a decent standard . Grandson loved the park and the pool . We visit the area often and would look to stay here again if the price was right .
Enjoyable holiday overall. One thing that would stop us going again is having to pay for WiFi . Taking kids on holiday means Wifi is a must. £3.00 an hour is a total rip off. We shall choose somewhere will free WiFi for our next holiday.
We had a good short break at Devon Valley. We found the staff to be very hardworking, very helpful and pleasant. The children had room to play and there was a well stocked shop and decent take away. We had our breakfast every morning which was enjoyable and we ate at the restaurant in the evening. The food was good but maybe a little pricey. However the view from the restaurant is lovely as it overlooks the water. The accommodation was clean and comfortable with everything we needed. However, we went at the beginning of April and the chalet was a little cold. The heating consists of electric heaters in each room, which were not adequate enough to heat the chalet. Also electric needs to be purchased separately which is not ideal. There is also no free wi-fi (unless you spend a certain amount in the restaurant!) which in this modern age is unusual I think. However, this park is a good base for exploring the surrounding area, which is lovely.
lovely location and site, caravan was a bit chilly though
Great family holiday ,caravan was clean and good value for money. My two sons enjoyed the activities and the entertainment was very good, my elder son even won a holiday to come back in a football activitiy.
The bedroom smelt musty and the bed damp, not good for sleeping, we had to put the electric heating on all the time to try and help rid the damp. Then having to pay on electric card made it seem less value for money,
Perfect Surroundings very peaceful, brilliant value for money, Perfect for the Children.
Great location and excellent value for money. Clean caravan.
Spent a 3 night break at the end of March, was worried that it would be quite poor given the excellent budget price - but I was very wrong. We loved the park, just the right size, good location and facilities spot on for what we wanted. Will definately be back.
Surroundings were good, but the restaurant had run out of most food and drink, told us they were closing next week! Even ran out of soft drinks, which when going away you should be able to get a coke at least!
The staff in the restaurant weren't great. We had a few issues with the one breakfast we had and were told by the supervisior that we shouldn't have complained as they would get in trouble. facilities very basic nice pool but changing rooms too small so going swimming was stressfull
Fantastic bueatiful location and everything and lots more

"Chagas disease, a parasitic infection spread to humans by insects, is not the new HIV/AIDS of the Americas, according to infectious disease experts who called the comparison," made in an editorial published in PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases last week, "'unrealistic' and 'unfortunate,'" ABC News' "Medical Unit" blog reports. "Rick Tarleton, president of the Chagas Disease Foundation, said the diseases have little in common beyond disproportionately affecting poor people," the blog notes (Moisse, 6/1).
According to U.S. News & World Report, "the editorial's author [Peter Hotez, founding editor of PLoS Neglected Tropical Disease], says he wrote the essay to cause a stir." "I wrote it purposefully to have a provocative title. ... I didn't write this in any way to diminish the importance of HIV/AIDS," says Hotez, the news service writes (Koebler, 6/1). "'It's difficult to say whether the type of attention this is generating is going to be good or bad for people with the disease,' said Tarleton, describing how many people with Chagas disease face obstacles in getting care," the ABC News blog adds (6/1).

The spacecraft's prime mission will run through 2010. During this period the project will study Mars' composition and structure, from atmosphere to underground, in much greater detail than any previous orbiter. It also will evaluate possible sites for future martian landings and will serve as a high-data-rate communications relay for surface missions.
"Great work by a talented team has brought Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter to this milestone in our progress toward a successful mission," said Jim Graf of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), Pasadena, Calif., project manager for the mission.
The spacecraft arrived at Kennedy Space Center's Shuttle Landing Facility on April 30 aboard a C-17 cargo plane and was taken to the Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility to begin processing. It was built near Denver by Lockheed Martin Space Systems. Launch is scheduled for Aug. 10 at 7:53:58 a.m. EDT, at the opening of a two-hour launch window.
The spacecraft will undergo multiple mechanical assembly operations and electrical tests to verify its readiness for launch. A test this month will verify the spacecraft's ability to communicate through NASA's Deep Space Network tracking stations. A June test will check the deployment of the spacecraft's high gain communications antenna. Another major deployment test will check out the spacecraft's large solar arrays.
In July, the spacecraft will be filled with hydrazine fuel for the "Mars orbit insertion" engine burn, which will be used to reduce the velocity of the spacecraft and place it in orbit around Mars. The fuel also will be used for attitude-control propellant. On July 26, the MRO will be encapsulated in the Atlas V fairing prior to being moved to its launch site on Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.
The Lockheed Martin Atlas V arrived at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station aboard an Antonov cargo plane on March 31 and was taken to the high bay at the Atlas Spaceflight Operations Center. The Atlas booster will be transported in May to the Vertical Integration Facility (VIF) at Space Launch Complex 41 to be erected. The Centaur upper stage will be transported to that facility for hoisting atop the booster in June.
Prelaunch preparations will include a "wet dress rehearsal" in July, during which the Atlas V will be rolled from the VIF to the launch pad on its mobile launch platform. The vehicle will be fully fueled with RP-1, liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen, and the team will perform a simulated countdown. The Atlas V will then be rolled back into the VIF for final launch preparations.
The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter will be transported from the Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility at Kennedy Space Center to the VIF on July 29. It will be hoisted atop the launch vehicle to join the Atlas V for the final phase of launch preparations. The spacecraft is scheduled to undergo a functional test on Aug. 1, followed by a final week of launch vehicle and spacecraft closeouts.
The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter mission is managed by JPL, a division of the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, for the NASA Science Mission Directorate, Washington. Lockheed Martin Space Systems is the prime contractor for the project. International Launch Services, a Lockheed Martin joint venture, and Lockheed Martin Space Systems are providing launch services for the mission.

EAST LANSING, Mich. - President Barack Obama on Friday signed into law an agriculture spending bill that will spread benefits to farmers in every region of the country, while trimming the food stamp program that inspired a two-year battle over the legislation.
As he penned his name on the five year measure at Michigan State University, Obama said the wide-ranging bill "multitasks" by helping boost jobs, innovation, research and conservation. "It's like a Swiss Army knife," he joked.
But not everyone is happy with the legislation and Obama acknowledged its passage was "a very challenging ...

Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR)
This organization offers a substantial amount of social science data in machine readable form to its more than 600 colleges, universities, and institutions (data is available to individuals whose institutions are not members of the ICPSR). All their data is available on-line, and soon researchers at ICPSR institutions will be able to access it directly. Some data is available to non-ICPSR members. In the section of the archive titled "Economic Behavior, Attitudes" you will find the Consumer Expenditure Survey and the Survey of Consumer Finances. Other data of possible interest (in other sections) includes the World Bank's World Tables of Economic and Social Indicators, 1950-1988; the NBER's Macroeconomic Time Series for the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, and France (which has 1.6 million entries in numerous categories including regional data; most data is from the early part of the 20th century, but a substantial amount is from the 19th century; the most recent is from 1968); and United States Microdata Samples Extract File, 1940-1980: Demographics of Aging (which is an extract of the Censuses of 1960, 1970, and 1980). In addition, there is a substantial amount of more specialized data of likely interest to economists. For economists, an especially useful collection of data is Class V, which contains data funded by the NSF's Economics Division. This data is in the "Publication-Related Archive" section of the archive. This material is available to all. The Consumer Expenditures Survey and the Current Population Survey are available through their "FastTrack Service" (which makes data available before their usual testing and checking). Information on FastTrack datasets is available from their comprehensive list of resources on their main web page. The data itself is available on their ftp site in the "pub/FastTrack" directory. This material is available to all. To obtain most data from ICPSR, you generally must contact your local representative, assuming that your university or college is a member of the ICPSR.

Following the Achaic period, it was under the Persian Empire, then fell to Alexander the Great, then to Romans.

Lovely Kantara Castle near Girne
Dear Emre and Kerem,
Today was my first day in Cyprus. After a long day on the road, my last stop was Kantara Castle. It's first mentioned in the records for Ric*************heart around 1190. So, it's easily a millennium-old. You can climb from the shoreline in about 20 minutes going through few villages and the final one is also called Kantara.
The road is very zig-zaggy and often times, you need to ...

An Enchanting & Romantic Venue -Wedding ceremonies

Enchanting and romantic venues are set in the beautiful landscaped gardens amidst fragrant blossoms and tropical palm trees, at a stunning fairytale setting, set in a sunken garden where small lakes ...
